I would like to go with this option, as I'm sure the problem will come up
again with different programs. However, the lack of the POSIX preprocessor
conditionals in STABLE was currently preventing me. I would like to know
the opinion of those more involved with POSIX conformance. Will the
preprocessor conditionals be MFC'd anytime soon? Or should I MFC the
changes but strip out the conditionals from glob.h?
Thanks,
Mike
